What Is Your Favorite Olympic Moment?

Oh, the Olympics. They come; they go. We wait two years for another season. Stories of last-minute switch-ins, and outs, pull the strings of my out-of-shape heart. Even people who don't like sports, love the Olympics. For the first week anyway. So before we say 再见 to the Beijing Games for good, let's look east to our most favorite moments.

But maybe you've already forgotten the athletes? Nothing wrong with that! Nor is there anything wrong with enjoying a scandal (or two) in your Olympic cocktail. Though seeing pictures of President Bush playing beach volleyball is all the fun I need!

The Olympics definitely top the list of 2008's biggest stories. Before London's calling about the 2012 Games, tell me:

"The men's 4x100 swim relay...where the French team was the favorite...and the US team won by a nanosecond or two. The looks on the French team's faces was PRICELESS."
Agreed, the look on my face when I realized what I had just saw was priceless, it took a few seconds before I got that they had won!

At first I was really put off...when he slowed down and started celebrating at the end of the 100m, like he was just soooooo fast that he didn't need to bother working so hard. But his explanation was just so simple. He was there to win the gold, not break any records.

I boycotted the games because they were in China. No point in supporting a Communist for me. However, I did get kinda sucked in my the mens volleyball team and their unlikely Gold win. So I supported the reds just a little bit.

My two favorite moments:

Usain Bolt was incredible. I love how enthusiastic the Jamaican athletes and fans (including my Jamaican born BF who nearly broke my couch) were.
